Kettering Health Hit by Interlock in Data Leak Attack

The Interlock ransomware group has taken credit for a cyberattack on Kettering Health, a healthcare network, and has released data it claims was stolen during the breach. The group posted samples of the allegedly compromised information on its leak site, asserting that the files were extracted from Kettering Health’s internal systems.

The scope of the attack and the volume of data exposed have not been independently verified. However, the leak raises concerns about potential risks to patient privacy and operational security within the healthcare provider’s network.

Kettering Health, which operates numerous medical facilities, has not publicly confirmed the incident or commented on the ransomware gang’s claims. The healthcare sector remains a frequent target for ransomware operations, which often seek to pressure organizations into paying ransoms by threatening to leak sensitive data.

The Interlock group’s disclosure adds to a growing list of ransomware incidents impacting U.S. healthcare systems in recent months.
